Early this year, we released our first Technical Preview. Since the release of TP1, we have gotten a lot of positive feedback, encouragement, and support. The idea of making a browser for our friends and ourselves seems to have resonated with lots of people around the world.

The trend for browsers today is simplification. We are more about individual design. Every user deserves a browser that adapts to their needs. We want you to feel that Vivaldi is truly made for you and the feedback we are getting indicates that we are on the right track!

After 4 technical previews, 2 Betas and almost 12 more months of hard work, we are getting closer to a Vivaldi 1.0. Even though we still have a lot of work ahead of us, it is a good feeling to see what we have accomplished this year as a team and as a community.

Thank you all for the support you provided us throughout the year. 2015 has been a great year for us and I hope it has been the same for all of you.

We will continue to work hard in 2016, and together with you, we will develop the very best web browser for you and for us and a browser which we can all love and be proud of.

We wish you happy holiday and a Merry Christmas with your friends, family and loved ones!
